CLOUDSCAPE #7
Oil on Paper, Impressionism, Ethereal
I was unsure, not because I was afraid of heights, but it always seemed so lonely up there. I would think about those who I loved and how far away they seemed to be from me now. It was as if they were on another planet. As my eyes attempted to focus on the ground so far below, I saw my life, or this version of my life that I had created for myself. And in this moment when I took the decision to take off and fly. I felt free.
Depicted in the perfect gradient and reflection, the clouds here are almost undetectable except for the gusts of wind that flow through the art like droplets of water. The shapes of the clouds are almost unidentifiable, almost but not quite undefined. What takes the stage here is the use of color and many different textures that dance across the surface of the piece.

Empyrean #25
The turbulent clouds whisked me from one side to the other, like two titan’s clashing in a game of chess. I was floating in the sky, as I had done so many times before, but something was different. Normally the clouds were white and fluffy; today they were almost gray. It felt like I could see them shifting uneasily under…
